We’re going the distance with King Krusha K. Rool for this remix of DK64’s K. Rool Duel!
There’s a specific reason I decided to do this song. Remember the Nintendo 64 Medley? It was a composition of half chosen-by-Patron songs, and half songs of my own choosing. I was originally only going to add like 2 or 3… but then that became 4… then that become 5… and it just kept growing. In fact, I ended up with over 20 songs total, but decided it was already really huge so cut it down to a nice round 20 song count.
I wanted to hit up most of the well known N64 games/soundtracks in that medley, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to do them ALL. So… some sacrifices had to be made, and the biggest of those sacrifices was Donkey Kong 64.
I had listed K. Rool Duel as a possible song option, but it’s such a great final boss theme with a million sections (classic Kirkhope final boss theme structure), that I both felt that it didn’t deserve to be cut down to shortened medley form, and deserved it’s own cover eventually.
Well eventually is now. For those of you who were disappointed DK64 missed the N64 Medley cut… this one’s for you!
